St. Johnsbury, VT – www.LawnSite.com, the leading business-to-business online forum for lawn care and landscape professionals, has exceeded 100,000 members. The site is ranked the 14th largest business forum overall and the largest serving the green industry according to Big-Boards.com, a web site that tracks electronic forums.  

Founded in 1998, LawnSite.com averages over 150,000 page views daily and close to 5,000,000 monthly page views according to Google Analytics. In 2006, the site was acquired by Moose River Media, which also publishes Turf magazine for landscape contractors, the 2009 advertising leader according to IMS.

Separately, PlowSite.com, the premier online forum for snow and ice professionals, surpassed 45,000 members. PlowSite.com was created as a sub-forum within LawnSite.com and was spun off as an independent online community in 2001.

Earlier this year, LawnSite.com leveraged its group buying power and launched “Member Benefits,” a program that offers green industry professionals access to a range of low-cost health insurance options.

"These are important milestones for LawnSite.com and PlowSite.com,” stated Korry Stagnito, president and CEO of Moose River Media. “Metrics like these prove that peer-to-peer exchange fills a vital information need for our industry professionals. We’re fortunate to have so many loyal members and sponsors, and we’ll continue to innovate to help them improve their businesses and form new alliances.”
